    Options such as at least 7 of the cans in that picture are for full auto weapons. A few are custom built to particular FA weapon. There are 3 - .30 cal cans....One quick detach for AR's, one heavy thread on for bolt guns up to .300WM, and one 12" long that I used to use on an AR5.7 SBR. A couple .223 cans....thread on and quick detach....AR's and bolt guns. A hand full of different .22 cans for multiple hosts, and pistol cans for .25/.32, 9mm, & .45.

    Question for you...getting ready to purchase my 2nd can as well. It will be going on a .308 bolt gun, .300BLK pistol and eventually a .223 AR.

    I was leaning towards the thunderbeast 30P-1 or the AAC 7.62SDN...suggestions? I'm not a huge fan of muzzle brakes so trying to stay away from AAC, but seems that direct thread on could lossen up on me?

    Yeah, I can relate to that........:innocent0

    Damn man! I'm green with envy!
    I've only got three.
    Since you seem to be somewhat of an expert given you have 17 suppressors you've have tested, which ones are your favorite? I'm thinking about getting a 5.56 dedicated supppresor next, which would you recommend?

    Sweet. Have a Sparrow myself. Where did you get the threaded barrel for the Smith 622? I have a 422 and would love a TB.


    The barrel on a 422 or 622 is already threaded. You just take the barrel nut off and thread an adapter on. My adapter is from EKW Arms. They are available in blued or stainless (I believe) and they run about $40.

    Waiting for my #2 in 556, in the Batf limbo- Absolutely love #1 in 22, on a Ruger 10/22 and this Sig 1911-22- It's so much fun to hear stuff you normally don't when wearing muffs, like the pewwing of ricochets... Reminds me of old westerns. What to get after that? Either 9mm or 45ACP...Who has an opinion? Ha-(can o' worms opening)

    You're going to get different opinions...I'm of the opinion you should get both, but the 45 first for the reason that it can be used on multiple different caliber hosts. For example, I run an Osprey 45 on my USP 9 - will I get a 9mm can eventually? Yeah, but the 45 can allows me keep my investment low for now and I do plan on a 45 caliber host soon. I had planned on getting a 45 caliber host first, but the USP 9 SD was a good deal when I found it.

    Thank you Sir! That's the first handgun I ever bought. Sometime around 1988 or 1989. Still a tack driver.

    That is really cool and very good looking!

    Thunderbeast CB series. Mounts to muzle brake or flash suppressor. And reports are, like the BA series, NO change in POI with or without the can.

    I have an AAC 7.62SDN-6 and I'm very happy with that can. I use it on 2 different 300BLK guns. It also works great for 5.56. There is not much difference between it and the M4-2000 when both are used with 5.56. No experience with the thunderbeast 30P-1, but I do have an SWR Omega 300. It's big, heavy, and built like a tank. Also quieter than the 7.62SDN-6.

    For versatility, I would look at the AAC 762SDN-6 or the Saker equivalent. See my comment above about the AAC M4-2000 and AAC 762SDN-6 with 5.56.

    My favorite cans, and the ones that I use the most, are the SWR Trident 9, AAC 762SDN-6, AAC Aviator, and Coastal MIMS 9mm. The Aviator is my quietest .22 can. It's an older sealed design. The MIMS gets used on the Uzi and Macs.

    Thanks!

    Is there any truth in the direct thread mounts backing off? I wont be firing full auto or full mag dumps.

    That MIMS is awesome.

    between each mag them come loose?

    Yes. The 22 much less so than the Osprey, which you can see is slightly canted when you get done with the mag. The rest of the folks I know with direct thread suppressors, on rifles especially, put witness marks on the tube so they can see it has rotated. Maybe I'm not gorilla-ing my Osprey, I don't know. I do know that I shot out the -13 O-ring inside the piston where the barrel threads into last time and I believe that helps in keeping the can engaged to the barrel threads.

    But this forces me to run a brake on anything I want to suppress.... .308 bolt, .300blk pistol, .223 AR etc.

    Nope, new CB line includes a flash suppressor mount.

    And if you order your suppressor, TB will swap the brake fitting for the flash suppressor version for no charge. Vince just ordered me a CB5 for use on .300 Blackout and .223 AR use. .308 is getting a CB9

    I agree. I have 3 of them. :D. 2 in 9mm and one in .45. It's also a very good value for a large serviceable multi-mount high volume subgun can.
